What Is Gynecomastia Surgery?

Gynecomastia surgery—also called male breast reduction—removes enlarged gland tissue and stubborn chest fat through a tiny areolar incision and/or power-assisted liposuction. You can expect a flatter, firmer chest right away, with swelling fading over 3–6 months. Most men return to desk work in 3–5 days and resume workouts by week 4.

Ideal for: healthy men whose chest fullness won’t budge with diet, cardio, or working out.

How Gynecomastia Surgery Works

check

You’ll meet directly with your surgeon for marking and photos. Under twilight IV sedation or general anesthesia—monitored by an MD/DO anesthesiologist—we place a 3-mm liposuction cannula at the armpit crease to remove excess fat, then excise dense gland through a semilunar edge-of-areola incision. The procedure takes 60–90 minutes and you go home the same day in a compression vest, with follow-ups at 1 day, 1 week, 1, 3, 6, and 12 months.

Is This the Right Treatment for Me?

check

Confirm it’s gland, not just fat

Surgery is best when stubborn, rubbery tissue or puffy nipples stay despite clean eating, lifting, and cardio.

check

Know the downtime

Plan 3–5 days off desk work, wear a compression vest for two weeks, and avoid chest workouts until week 4.

check

Check your health boxes

Stable weight, non-smoker (or ready to quit), and realistic expectations set you up for smooth healing.

Consider options

If fullness is purely fatty, liposuction alone may work; if hormones are off, medical therapy might help first.

FAQs - Male Gynecomastia Surgery

How much does Gynecomastia Surgery cost?
Gynecomastia surgery starts at $12,500 and includes your board-certified surgeon, private surgical suite, compression vest, and 12-month doctor-guided follow-up. With approved credit, payments can be as low as $375–$525 per month after a typical deposit. Exact quote after exam; individual needs vary.
Can I go home the same day?
Yes. Male breast reduction is an outpatient procedure—after about an hour in recovery, you’ll meet safety criteria and an adult must drive you home.
Will I need special after-care?
You’ll wear a compression vest 24/7 for the first two weeks, then at night for two more. Light walking starts day 1; chest workouts resume around week 4.
Can working out or losing weight get rid of gynecomastia?
Exercise and fat loss can slim the chest if excess fat is the only issue, but true gynecomastia involves firm gland tissue that will not disappear with workouts or diet alone—surgery is the definitive fix.
Why does gynecomastia happen?
Common causes include puberty-related hormone shifts, aging, certain medications or steroids, genetics, and weight fluctuations. A brief lab work-up can rule out rare endocrine problems before surgery.
Is the surgery painful?
Most men describe soreness similar to a heavy chest workout. Prescription pain medicine is usually needed for only 1–2 days, followed by over-the-counter acetaminophen.
Will there be visible scars?
Incisions are 3–4 mm and hidden along the areola edge or inside the armpit crease. They typically fade to hair-line marks within six months.
How long do results last?
Removed gland tissue does not grow back. Maintain a stable weight and avoid hormone-disrupting substances to keep your flat chest long-term.
